When Shen Ling saw Mrs. Liu asking about him, she bent down to salute, "That's the boy."
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Liu grabbed his sleeve and stopped him. "I can't stand your courtesy!"
Shen Ling had a photographic memory, and of course he recognized that the rosy-faced old lady in front of him was the dying woman whose throat was stuck, but he still continued to bow, "It is the right thing for a junior to salute an elder."
Mrs. Liu nodded repeatedly when she saw Shen Ling's behavior.
She has met many juniors over the years, some cunning and honest, some shrewd and dull, but she has never seen such a polite and talkative one.
It looks good, too.
He matches well with the banker's girl.
A few people chatted about daily life, and after a while, the three Zhang brothers came back from the fields.
Zhuang Keqing came to see Zhang Da, so he didn't avoid anyone and asked Zhang Da if he would be free during the market day, as he had to go to the town to sell goods.
How could Zhang Da not agree? Every time, he had made a good plan and would free up his time early, just waiting for the girl to come to him.
"I want to take Shen Ling with me this time."
"That's good. You and your wife should go together." Zhang Da nodded in agreement.
But the dog became a little panicked when he heard it.
Then won’t he no longer be able to work for Sister Zhuang, and won’t his opportunity to earn pocket money be gone?
He wanted to mention it, but he was embarrassed and couldn't get a word in, so he scratched his head and scratched his head anxiously. Zhang Da looked at his son who couldn't get on the stage, then looked at Shen Ling beside him, and couldn't help but shake his head.
It really can't be compared.
Somehow I had thought about being the father-in-law of a girl before, but now I feel ashamed when I think about it.
Zhuang Keqing is also smart. When she saw Gouzi's expression, she knew what the little brother was worried about, so she asked: "Brother Gouzi, how are the paddy fields at my house these past few months? Have you changed the water regularly?"
Mentioning this, Gouzi suddenly felt relieved. Yes, I still take care of the two acres of paddy fields.
"When the weather is hot, I go to change the water every two days. Now it seems that the fish fry are two times bigger than before. I also found that the rice ears seem to have bolted earlier than other fields."
The dog is telling the truth.
In the past few months, he has been running to the farmer's field every three days, and he has been laughed at a lot. But as he watched the seedlings grow, get stronger, ear, and bloom, no matter what stage, it seemed to be faster than other fields. .
Zhuang Keqing hasn't cared about his paddy fields for a long time. These days, his thoughts are all on the tofu business. If he hadn't met Gouzi today, he would have forgotten about this.
After being told this, she was also a little curious. She knew that the method of raising fish in rice fields was naturally good, but she was still not sure how good it would be, so she might as well go back and take some time to take a look.
"Then let's go back first, Uncle Zhang, and we'll meet at the same place tomorrow." After that, Zhuang Keqing asked Shen Ling to put down the eggs given by the village chief, and left without waiting for anyone else to keep them.
After the young couple left, Mrs. Liu spoke.
"Boss, are the paddy fields with fish really different?"
She had originally decided to follow others to raise fish in rice fields, and she was a little nervous. She didn't show it on her face these past few months, but she was actually worried about it, fearing that it would be a mess when the harvest came. But she just heard her grandson say The farmer's two acres, which were not taken care of very much, still grew better than other people's, so I couldn't help but asked.
The second and third sons didn't agree with the fish farming thing before, but later they simply left it to Zhang Da and never took care of it, lest they themselves would be scolded if the harvest didn't work well. But now, listening to my nephew's wishes, it actually happened?
Several pairs of eyes looked at Zhang Da in the yard, and for a moment the man didn't know what to say.
"Just, it's pretty good." Zhang Da scratched his head and tried hard to recall the efforts he put in those fields, but thinking about it carefully, it seems that he really didn't put in much effort. It was just changing the water when the weather was hot, and occasionally except for sporadic It's just grass sprouting up.
But this rice seedling is indeed as my son said. It grows better than other rice seedlings in the family that I have worked hard on. It seems that it has begun to fill with grout during this period, not to mention the fish fry in it. The whole thing is much bigger. I guess By the time it's harvested, one can weigh half a catty.
He stood there in a daze, hesitating and unable to say anything good or bad, but it made the whole family anxious to death.
Zhuang Keqing didn't know anything about the Zhang family. She took Shen Ling's hand and walked home without shying away from the eyes of the village.
It was getting late, and my mother was probably waiting impatiently at home.
"You raised fish in the field?"
Shen Ling had nothing to say at all. Then he spoke, indicating that there was something he didn't understand.
Shen Wei's official position is the county magistrate, the head of a county. In Dai State, the county magistrate, as the smallest administrative agency, has complex responsibilities, but the most important ones are the criminal name and the Qian Valley. Among them, the Qian Valley is related to national taxation and is the most important.
Therefore, even though Shen Wei loves camping and does not pay much attention to the people's livelihood in this county, there is still a book on agriculture in his study.
Shen Ling happened to read it.
It described rice cultivation and farmland management in great detail, but now that he thought about it, there was nothing in it about raising fish in rice fields.
Zhuang Keqing held Shen Ling's hand and nodded and smiled at the aunt who came towards her with a strange look in her eyes. After seeing her surprised and embarrassed expression, she felt better.
"Well, you knew before that Brother Gouzi caught fish fry in the river and released them in the fields."
"How did you think of doing this?"
Zhuang Keqing couldn't say that I have memories of past lives, which are a powerful tool for cheating, so I can only make them up randomly. "It's just an occasional flash of inspiration. I want to believe that you must have had such an experience."
Shen Ling nodded thoughtfully.
Sometimes he does feel this way after reading articles or good books.
"If you think about it, fish eat weeds and small insects and can help weed and eliminate weeds and insects in the fields. Fish also excrete waste, which is also a good fertilizer. Fish swim around in the water and can loosen the soil."
"Isn't this what us farmers do in the fields every day?" After speaking, Zhuang Keqing tilted his head and smiled happily at Shen Ling, "Actually, I'm not very sure that this method can work. Anyway, we only have two acres at home. Paddy field, just give it a try."
The girl's smile was confident and shining, and the warm sunshine at noon shone in her eyes, making her whole body look glowing.
Shen Ling was stunned for a moment.
When he got home at noon, Qin Manzhi had already put the meal on the table.
The pig's trotters braised in the morning were ready, with thick oil and red sauce, and were served in a bowl. Another thick porcelain bowl contained cold shredded radish and celery, and finally there was a simple vegetable soup and thick flour pancakes. Several.
After running all morning, my legs were tired and thirsty. Zhuang Keqing drank a bowl of water before drinking the soup.
"Are you thirsty?"
Shen Ling shook his head and went to the kitchen to get the dishes and chopsticks and set them up. He waited until Qin Manzhi served the table before he sat down.
The pig's trotters were placed in the center of the table. Perhaps the taste was too fragrant, so Amandu opened his hands, shouting "ahhhh" and reached out to take it.
"Ah Man, grow up quickly. Then I will braise pig's trotters for you to eat every day!" Zhuang Keqing looked at his cute little brother and went over to grab the little meaty hand and squeeze it twice.
Seeing her like this, Qin Manzhi couldn't help but joke, "You are married now. In two years, you will have a baby, and you can still be with Aman."
As soon as these words came out, Zhuang Keqing immediately lost his voice, grabbed a piece of cake in his hand, and choked on it.
Shen Ling looks calm and composed, but if you look closely at him, you will see that the roots of his ears are completely red.
Qin Manzhi didn't know that the young couple had just slept under the quilt these past few days, and no one mentioned anything about it.
Everyone is still young, why are you so anxious? This is what Zhuang Keqing thinks.
Qin Manzhi found it interesting that the scene suddenly stopped, but it was not easy to tease the newlywed couple anymore. He only talked about the matter of finding Li Guihua today.
"Your Aunt Li said that if you want to take the exam, you need someone to vouch for it. It seems there is some trouble."
"As guarantee?" Zhuang Keqing vaguely felt that there should be such a procedure. In his previous life, he occasionally watched a TV series about an examination fraud case, and it seemed to have been mentioned in it.
Seeing that the mother and daughter did not understand the scientific examination very well, Shen Ling put down his chopsticks and explained aloud.
"If you want to be admitted as a scholar, you need to pass the Tongsheng Examination first, and the Tongsheng Examination requires you to pass the county examination first and then the government examination. For the examination, you need to be sponsored by five people, or a local student."
"It's so complicated!" Qin Manzhi didn't expect that there are so many details about taking the exam. "Then we will go to the old scholar's house tomorrow. Osmanthus said that the old scholar has opened a private school, so there must be some children who want to take the exam."
